A kid in the 90s or the early 2000s would’ve had one or several new Final Fantasy titles coming out every year or every few years on different platforms. Makes it much easier to stay engaged with a property and to become a long time fan
You were getting new games as a kid? I had a handed down console that smelt of cigarettes and demo disks, bargain bucket games and whatever my mum could check out from the library. Or if i was lucky a blockbuster voucher for the rare new rental treat i would hammer through
That’s why your dad gave like 20 bucks to some guy he knew to put a modchip in your PS1
All of our PS1 Squaresoft games were burned CDs with the name of the scribbled on them. Good thing too because those bastards wouldn’t release all of their coolest games in Europe because they didn’t want to figure out how to also fit a Dutch translation or whatever onto the discs
it makes sense if you think about it like a corporation, in the same vein as disney. all the nostalgia milking that happens today in final fantasy or disney world is only possible because kids were seeded with those IPs a generation ago. if that isn’t happening today, these media companies will be in dire straits 5, 10 or 20 years from now.
I’m not forming an attachment to chess because the development cycle is longer than my lifespan. Yeah, that’s it.

That’s why Nintendo is pushing hard for movies and amusement parks rn
Chess 2 is kinda lit though
